Unhappy 911 2.4 engine cover pops always open

I have a 911 2.4 T and the engine cover pops always opens.
I have already replaced the lock on both sides with a new one.
Everything was centered and closed nicely

But when I'm driving it's always pops open.

I do not know what else I can do.

Annoying and strange problem.

Who has advice

Hi..it is very easy.I think your adjustment is not correct.
While adjusting the cable you have to see the little lip closed trough the lock hole.Take a picture of your lock open and i will tell you better..

If you open the deck-lid and look inside the latch .You have to see the lip like on this picture....i bet you you cannot see it on your latch..

My 84 had the same issue. On mine it wasn't the adjustment, but that the latch mechanism was dirty and sticky. I remove the latch cleaned and relived it and it has been great ever since.
